    <h2><a name="_Toc201305703">Note  Concerning Conventions of Parties Holding Primary Elections</a></h2>
    <h3><em>Precinct Conventions</em></h3>
    <h4>Time  and Place</h4>
    <blockquote>  Precinct  conventions may be held at a time and place determined by rules adopted by the  state executive committee of a political party. If precinct conventions are  held on the general primary election day, the hour for convening may not be  earlier than 7:00 p.m. or later than 9:00 p.m., but a convention may not  convene until the last voter has voted at the precinct polling place. If  precinct conventions are held on a day other than the general primary election  day, the county executive committee must set the hour for convening or a time  frame in which the convention must convene.   [Secs. 174.021, 174.022] <br />
      <br />
    </blockquote>
    <h4>Notice  Required</h4>
  The  county chair must post notice of the date, hour, and place for convening the  precinct convention, on the county or the state party&rsquo;s Internet website or  another Internet location easily found through a search engine. If the county  party does not maintain an Internet website, the chair shall post notice on the  county commissioners court bulletin board. Notice must remain posted continuously  for the 10 days leading up to the date of the convention. Because convention  times are not yet determined, this calendar does not show any deadlines for  posting such notices. Not later than the 10th day before the date of the  precinct conventions, the county chair must deliver to the county election  officer, written notice <strong>either on paper or in electronic form</strong>, of the  date, hour, and place for convening each precinct convention.  [Sec. 174.023(a), (b)]  <br />
  <br />
<h3><em>County and Senatorial Conventions</em></h3>
<h4>Time  and Place</h4>
  The state  executive committee, by rule, must specify the date and the county for the  senatorial conventions. The political party may, by rule, allow a county to  hold the precinct conventions before the county convention on the same day and  at the same place.  [Secs. 172.021,  174.063(a)]  <br />
  <br />
  <h4>Notice  Required</h4>
  Notice of  the hour and date for convening the county convention must be posted  electronically on the county or the state party&rsquo;s Internet website or on the  bulletin board used for posting notice of meetings of the commissioners court.  Notice must remain posted continuously for the 10 days leading up to the date  of convention. Because convention times are not yet determined, this calendar  does not show any deadlines for posting such notices. Not later than the 10th  day before the date of the county and the senatorial convention, the county  chair must deliver, to the county election officer, written notice <strong>either on  paper or in electronic form</strong>, of the date, hour, and place for convening  county and senatorial convention.  [Sec.  174.064(a), (b)]  <br />
  <br />
<h3><em>State Conventions</em></h3>
The biennial state convention must be convened on a date  selected by the state executive committee. The state convention date is no  longer limited to June or July. The state executive committee must set the date  of the state convention not later than the date the state chair delivers to the  county chairs, the certification of candidate names for the primary election  ballot. <strong>See entry at December 16, 2025.</strong> Accordingly, this calendar does not show any deadline or period for holding the  state convention. Notice of the date, hour, and place for convening the state  convention must be posted by the state chair on the party&rsquo;s Internet website,  before the date of the party&rsquo;s precinct conventions.  [Secs. 174.092, 174.093]
